    T&E cable distance from cold water pipe

    Many thanks, I thought though the 25mm rule was applicable to hot pipes and gas pipes, but if as you suggest, it applies to all pipework, then OK. Cheers.

    T&E cable distance from cold water pipe

    Good Evening. I am in the process of making some slight alterations to my Utility room, and there is a Twin and Earth cable that needs re-locating. It is a 20Amp Radial circuit for the socket outlets, solely for the Utility room, protected by a 20 Amp MCB and 30mA RCD. I need to re-locate the...

    Moving wooden blocked light switches/extending wiring

    I am not sure of the age of the house, but I am sure it was something to do with a nearby Railway line that once was, closed to passengers in the early 1950s (another house nearby of the same style was the Station House) but regarding me saying the lighting circuit must be at least 60 years old...

    House Earthing TN-S or TT....

    HI The thought of been lucky to have the TN-S (although not currently used) has crossed my mind a few times. The OH Line I was told was installed in the early 1960s, the first time my parents cottage (and the other properties supplied from the same Transformer) had electricity installed. The...

    House Earthing TN-S or TT....

    It is still the same Earth rod in place, although showing no signs of corrosion etc. Perhaps I should not have stated 'obviously ineffective', however, although one cannot be sure without a Professional Loop Impedance instrument to measure the Ze and therefore give a specific numerical Ze value...

    Good Evening Although You you and pc1966 have been very helpful, which I am extremely grateful for, I have attached some drawn diagrams of how things have been over time. (BTW, the current CU was installed more around 1996). You can see the layout pre 1990, 1990-1996 (with no effective...

    House Earthing TN-S or TT....

    Good Afternoon, It is the cable supplying the Cooker circuit. They are all PVC cables what you see on the cables is dust. I just didn't think about cleaning them before taking the photos/video. The same goes for the tails coming from the bottom of the cutout in the video. I assure you though...

    HI Just thought I would add some more photos of the cutout I have just taken. There is also a short video of the Earth block cover wobbling slightly and you can hear it moving as well. Just to let you know, I certainly did not pull on it or anything, what you see in the video is just gentle...

    Hi Regarding the split-con cable, if you look at the photo 'Old Redundant Cables' carefully, you can see the from top to bottom, top sticks out more, middle sticks out a bit lees and bottom does not stick out much, but there are 3 cables. Looking at the 'Transformer back view', you can see a...

    House Earthing TN-S or TT....

    The book is old, probably from the 1970s, but it was many years ago I read it. The split-con and cutout, was installed in 1990 (as a replacement for three individual cables for the drop from the final pole to the house). 1589238847 HI Yes, the Earthing method actually in use is the Earth Rod...

    Many Thanks pc1966 I have no idea how to do so. Hopefully this will be sorted ASAP. It's a pity really, although this is my first post on this site, I have visited it many times over and it appears to be a very useful site. This has come as a great disappointment really since my post comprises...
